Welcome to the Sochi Olympics! Privacy? We're fresh out of that. Please enjoy a healthy dose of computer hacking and surveillance though.

That's the general message coming from the Olympics after a pair of recent stories.

First there's what appears to be a rather sloppy slip-of-the-tongue from Dmitry Kozak, the deputy prime minister responsible for Olympic prep, according to the Wall Street Journal. During a tour, the following quote came straight from Kozak: "We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day."

You have surveillance where exactly? As if that wasn't bad enough, there's also this bit from NBC News that their own Richard Engel was "hacked immediately" upon arrival.

"His spokesman, Ilya Dzhus, said Thursday that 'no such thing was ever said.' He called the report a fantasy, a joke, or a mistranslation. Hotels have video surveillance of entrances for security purposes, he said, and some rooms had video surveillance during construction.
